AI, Burnout, and Everything After
Linus Torvalds' about-face on AI in the Linux kernel, Jellyfin's leadership shakeup amid AI tensions, and running Hermes agents against home infrastructure.
BitFlip is an independent podcast about the pragmatic side of infrastructure. We talk about self-hosting, homelabs, open source, and the real-world decisions engineers make every day — without the enterprise fluff.
Linus Torvalds' about-face on AI in the Linux kernel, Jellyfin's leadership shakeup amid AI tensions, and running Hermes agents against home infrastructure.
We discuss our picks of the best self-hosted apps (with Home Assistant and media-related apps off-limits) including Hermes, Frigate, Healthchecks, Pangolin, Pi-hole, and more.
We break down the Steam Machine pricing and what it means for Linux gaming, cover Matter 1.6's announcement and the Open Home Foundation's recent developments, and Alex walks through his exhaustive review of Jellyfin clients across tvOS and beyond.
We dig into the NVIDIA RTX Spark and what it means for local AI, revisit the Proxmox-vs-Unraid debate through Alex's Perfect Media Server Part 3, and do a deep dive on Jellyfin's strengths, rough edges, and the upcoming version 12.
